Mailing instructions A batch will be divided by versions into direction-specific units (directions in slide 8). Different versions of the same batch cannot be in the same unit (the said version must be indicated in the unit s container label). It is not necessary to collar the bundles. Bundle labels are not attached to individual bundles. The bundle is only half folded or, based on the ad layout, not at all. Instead of bundling, the items can also be boxed into Posti s blue boxes. The items will be boxed in parallel and without folding. A yellow container label will be printed from the order channel and attached to the transport unit.
